With Ubuntu [A Fresh Install]

No, the old install didn’t crash !!!

i just was very anxious about the new Ubuntu release (Karmic Koala), so i installed the RC version

and as u know i hate to install a fresh install of any OS until the currently running one crashes, hangs and cries to let it die

Ubuntu Code Names

i just wanted to know the meanings of the complicated names of the Ubuntu releases, maybe it’s complicated for me, i’vee never heard such words before “intrepid , Jaunty , Ibex,….”

so i did some search to find them, and here are the meanings

first all the code names are composed of 2 words an adjective and an animal, both starting with the same character where releases are sorted alphabiticaly except the first two releases

Release 1 ( Ubuntu 4.10 Warty Warthog)

which means a type of swines covered with Pustule

which is an ugly looking swine , duno why did they name it so

with ubuntu [it has been a long time]

eight months since i had installed my running Ubuntu, it has been upgraded from Interpid (8.10)  to Jaunty (9.04)

that took me some time to create the launcher

first i’m running on Ubuntu 9.04, all what i wanted is a launcher to start the Arena without the need to digg into folders for it

so i made the icon, put it in the Application launcher and added the command wich was “javaws %ArenaPath%/ContestAppletProd.jnlp”

and when i click it, nothing happens

i said those words one day that i started to install Linux

i had a fear that i go back to windows a day or more after i install it, but now i dont think that i’m going back to windows

i can feel that my computer feels democracy

every time i look on the requirments for a software , game or windows i look on the minimum requirments section to see if my PC will handle it or not as i know that the recommended requirments will be not in my PC

with linux i saw the minimum , recommended and searched for any other requirments to see

this is the recomended requirments published on Ubuntu official website

• 700 MHz x86 processor
• 384 MB of system memory (RAM)
• 8 GB of disk space
• Graphics card capable of 1024×768 resolution

• Sound card

• A network or Internet connection

lol, i feel that i can run this OS on a gameboy and it will run smoothly
